Imagination is the operant power, and it must be operated: knowing the principle changes nothing until one uses it, and one does not kneel to an external god but does the imaginal act oneself. The same power creates universes and sustains a man's environment; only its intensity differs.
the difference is not in the mentality with which we operate, but only in the degrees of intensity of the operant power itself, and that we call human Imagination
You can’t fail if you try it…but you’ve got to operate it. We are the operant power; it doesn’t operate itself. We and we alone operate it.
“All that you behold, though it appears without, it is within, in your imagination, of which this world of mortality is but a shadow.”
Man is the operant power. “Where man is not, nature is barren.”
Nothing appears or continues in being by a power of its own. Events happen because comparatively stable imaginable activities created them. And they continue in being only as long as they receive such support.
It reveals man as a center of imagining with powers of intervention, which enable him to alter the course of observed events
